Oops, you're totally right, I messed that up. Too late to edit the parent unfortunately. I think it's certainly still impressive, though!

I'd be surprised if that is the case—or perhaps we have different definitions of what constitutes a "browser-based application." For example, I do all my online banking in my browser; it's the most fully-featured way to

Yup, that's what I was thinking of... I learned most of what I know about rockets from /r/SpaceX and related places! :)

As others have said, that's basically the case. Most of the complexity, though, is at the bottom, in the engines. Absolutely incredible machines designed to withstand—and control—incredible forces. Turbopumps spinning at tens of thousa

That's super cool! If you aren't already, keep an eye on Starlink—when they start operating in Portugal I bet it'd be a real benefit to your business. Yours is pretty much the ideal use case. Also, wow, living and coding in r

Is anyone else annoyed this is being publicized? It pretty much destroys any value that noticing the header might have as a signal. Granted the signal strength was probably pretty low already, as other commenters have pointed out, but blog

I'm assuming you're being sarcastic...

How do you know? Not doubting you, just curious as to how you figure out if a request is from a bot or not.

You're saying all the right things :) thanks for the awesome level of detail, too! You guys seem like a really cool company. I'll definitely be making good use of this product in the future; thanks for making it and sharing it!

This is a really cool tool, and seems much more polished than other similar sites I've used in the past. So first, thanks! Second, though—this seems really expensive to run, based on what you're saying here. How are you monetizing

3 minutes later, I started at 483… definitely Hacker News bump!

Only if you think of "maintaining your system to improve your life" as work. I would think of it more as play. It's not time wasted if you enjoy it. Hm. I actually don't agree with that sentiment as written. It's no

Interesting—I scroll with my middle finger, always have. I thought everyone did. Makes sense in retrospect that different people would find different "intuitive" ways of using a mouse, though!

This looks like a great resource! Like others, I vastly prefer an example-based style, and the examples are really well chosen and very illustrative. I generally think I know my regexes, but I've already learned a few tricks. (Backrefe

This is why I want Firefox to prioritize Progressive Web App support, and for PWAs to become more popular. Then an open device that can run Firefox can have access to a variety of apps that will work just the same as they would on an Androi

Why would it be particularly difficult to migrate away from an API-based CMS?

I'm assuming they're talking about a standard SPA (or even a conventional full-page-reload web app), or React Native or Electron on the desktop or similar. In the former case, a PWA can use service workers and caching and so on to

That's how I felt when I used a Mac for work. Linux doesn't work just the way I want right out of the box, but neither did the Mac, and at least Linux gives me the tools to change and fix the things I didn't like. Granted, my

What laptop are you using? I think that would be helpful context. I've been running Ubuntu 16.04 on my Dell XPS 15 9560 with almost no issues (and none that aren't easily resolved with a shell script or a keyboard shortcut) for al
